    Unironically because of the Ukraine war this time?

    Sorry guys, we made a mistake and accidentally loaded all the t-shirts into a Javelin missile we sent to Ukraine. We only found out when the post office let us know that the boxes we were sending to you all tested for explosives! Unfortunately we can't issue refunds because we spent the money already on trafficking orphan slaves to convert some surplus canvas waterboarding hoods into messenger bags.

    FWIW Lockheed Martin is right now part of stopping an ongoing attempted genocide.

    (Yeah, that's right, they are the people behind the beloved HIMARS system.)

    genocide is when you consistently try to avoid civilian casualties

    I don't mind defining all war as genocide. USA gets to be the world's most genocidal nation either way.

    I think that's too reductive; genocide is somewhat vaguely defined, but I've always seen it as systematically trying to eradicate some large group of civilians; AFAIK the Russian military isn't deliberately killing those who aren't fighting back (not even if they're Nazis). On the other hand, maybe "genocide" is just a flawed term since it's based on presumed intent rather than results

    Jokes aside it's a good conversation. It is a vague term and continues to be the world's most popular word for the greatest crime imaginable. What I find interesting is that mass killing of people of a particular political ideology still falls out of the bounds of the ever growing definition of genocide.100,000 communists in South Korea are systematically killed and it doesn't capture the imagination quite the same if it can't be called genocide.

    I'm not arguing that genocide should be a more vague term. I feel like a need a word for mass killing of largely unarmed demographics that is more flexible.

    There's a trend in South Korea lately for big name branded clothes. CNN, National Geographic, I guess Lockhead Martin too. It's really weird

    Who in their right mind would want to buy a t-shirt of the fricking F-35!? The shittiest fighter jet known to mankind?

    Better yet, why would you buy anything from LOCKHEED FREAKING MARTIN?

    If you have neighbors who are behind some of the worlds biggest and nastiest genocides in the history and especially in modern times, then you might want to buy everything you can get your hands on from Lockheed Martin.

    Is not lockhead Martin doing thhe clothes, but a random company buying the name rights and just stapling the brand on their clothes. Had a friend who worked in a shoes factory who had the names of random brands that you would not associate with shoes.
